Mac BU is on the road to talk up Mac Office 2008 to IT pros

If you're an IT professional responsible for deploying Mac Office and you're …

Microsoft's Mac Business Unit, responsible for all things Microsoft and Mac, is on tour now with the oddly-named "Office 2008 for Mac District Launch Tour." The tour features seminars on getting the most out of Mac Office and related technologies, and includes Q&A with Mac BU product managers.

The main afternoon seminar is for IT professionals, and includes sessions on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; a separate session for Entourage and Exchange integration; and session that includes Messenger, RDC, SharePoint, and other tools. There's also an invite-only Executive Roundtable session in the morning and an evening session for Apple Consultant registrants.

Though the tour kicked off in New York last week and swung by Toronto yesterday, there's still time to register for Reston, Virginia tomorrow. The tour will also visit Los Angeles next week and Downers Grove, Illinois the week after before wrapping up in Redmond on May 22. If part of your job involves deploying Mac Office in any sizable environment, the chance to get this up close and personal with the folks responsible for the software should be too good to pass up.
